How do you think marketing works? Someone posts a cool thing they've done in Starfield, and someone else gets some FOMO and decides to buy the game, sub to Gamepass, get an Xbox to play it, etc.
No not everyone is pirating the game, a lot of people on Lemmy may be as this is an echo chamber of techie types, but the general audience don't even know how to, and if they prefer to play on console, can't.
Clearly you have beef with Bethesda, and are letting it cloud your judgement here, but the fact of the matter is lots of people are playing and enjoying the game as is, out the box before any mods are officially available.
Clearly you’re a white knight for anything Bethesda, so I’m gonna dip out.
Hope that check your receive pays for your much needed vacation to reality.
Over one game? I thought Fallout 4 was a disappointing step back from New Vegas and 76 was a misjudged project that turned up messy and broken and I've never even looked at playing. The last game of theirs I truly enjoyed pre Starfield was Skyrim, over a decade ago. I'm not white knighting them, you clearly have an irrational hatred of them and are unable to admit when they do something positive, a common issue today when people turn hating something into their identity and are unable to ever move from the stance. Like most Devs, they've had their ups and downs and the ups should be praised and the downs criticised.
